Surely it's a much better option to be able to buy an updated chart every 3 months, especially if they are cheap, easy to store and handle, etc..? Just look at the raft of frequency changes that make the '1yr' validity of UK charts questionable from anything but a legal standpoint.

Thanks for the point about paper charts, which I remember hearing of but like most PPL's have never seen. I didn't know they come folded as MD says. They are not easy to buy: Transair says "Charts are supplied laminated" and I couldn't find them at FlightStore either.
Since there's obviously not a whisper of support for my idea, I'll shut up now..
